"Fundies"

Fundamentalism is the lack of ability to think outside of the box.

I have found in my short amount of time on twitter that there are many people who claim, and would even go so far as to think, that they are free thinking people. They claim to think for themselves, but fall into the philosophy of another. The worldview they often reach is in the scope of generalization. They say things like, "all Christians are idiots!", "all theists are fundies", and much, much worse. Not only does the act of name calling create walls of disdain, it also solidifies the view that all atheists are hateful people who are miserable and angry.

That being said. I will hold my view that theism is the wrong answer to life's questions. I will not tell anyone what to believe, but only what is wrong with their belief.

We are all products of our environment. We think the way we do because we were taught to by the experiences we have. Being a theist doesn't make you an idiot. It does make you assume your right. You're probably not.

  1. You seem fairly reasonable here, although your final conclusion is wrong.
